Default Asian Noodle Cookbooks?

Hi -

I have been reading reviews of Asian Noodle Cookbooks on Amazon, and
can't find a way to choose one over the other.

Nina Simonds' Asian Noodles: 75 Dishes To Twirl, Slurp, And Savor looks
pretty good, but some reviewers seem to think she's simplified and
Americanized too much.

Others appear to like Terry Durack's Noodle, but their writing reads a
bit like astro-turf - i.e. perhaps writtne by an overeager publisher?

Jacki Passmore's The Noodle Shop Cookbook seems to have the same
limitations as Nina Simonds'. (Passmore wrote an Asian Ingredient
Dictionary that I often refer to, so I know that she knows her stuff.)

So, has anyone had good experiences with these or any other
noodle-specific cookbook, or any other cookbook that includes a hefty
number of noodle recipes (that they would recommend)?

Thanks,

Ian
